Madison, WI (NNCNOW.com) --- Gary Andersen has been hired as the 29th head football coach of the University of Wisconsin (UW), the school's athletic director Barry Alvarez officially announced on Thursday evening.

Reports surfaced earlier in the week that Andersen was the guy to replace Brett Bielema, but the UW Board of Regents needed to approve the hire, and they did so via conference call sometime on Thursday.
